My mind was blown last week in analytical Chem. I am currently a bachelor's student and we are in the lab for instrumental analysis. The scales we have are so delicate and precise, down to tenths of milligrams, that when I put the beaker with my solution on to weigh it, you could see the evaporation of the water directly on the scale. With my 100ml beaker I lost 0.1 mg of water *per second*. Seeing it that directly kinda blew my mind after realizing that it was due to the evaporation of the water.

There's a mistake at 1:39. Cody says, "When you have a more reactive metal in solution, and a less reactive metal as a solid, those two metals will switch places". However, the opposite is true. A more reactive metal will replace a less reactive metal in solution, i.e when you have a less reactive metal in solution, and a more reactive metal as a solid, those two metals will switch places.

It would be interesting to see what the difference is in thickness of the copper rod is above and below the water line with a micrometer. Is there a measurable loss of copper into solution?

@louistournas120

5 жыл бұрын

Perhaps you already know this: The mercury was in the form of Hg(2+) and copper will end up as Cu(2+). Therefore, fore each atoms of mercury, you lose a copper atom in solution. You can weight the mercury to find out how much copper was removed from the rods Mass of mercury * 63.546 / 200.59 = Mass of copper converted to Cu(2+) Or you can just weight the copper rods before and after.

I really like the way you explained (the seat in the plane), you should keep explaining alway like that. It might be strange for you to talk about these "basic" things but they are really hard to understand for people who did not study chemistry, but who are fascinated by it (probably like many of your users). Thanks Cody!

(The others sufficiently addressed hydrogen as a metal. I am take it in a different direction.) It is the only element that is effectively two disparate types at the same time. Naturally you see that hydrogen is on top of the alkali series, but some periodic tables places hydrogen in the halogen series, because it accepts (halogen) or donates (alkali) an electron. Hydrogen typically donates an electron, hence it behaves like a metal more often than a halogen. Halides (LiH) are examples of hydrogen acting like an acid. Hydrogen is listed in the replacement series both as a replacement option and as a marker. It marks the place where an acid cannot react with a metal without a redox reaction. (Nitric acid will dissolve copper, silver, and mercury, but a molecule of nitric acid has to sacrificed, and that is why nitrogen dioxide is generated.) Metals below the hydrogen marker are inert to non-oxidizing acids. Ignore the fact that hydrogen is a gas, for a second. In fact replace all the elements in the replacement series with alphabetic letters, so you won't be prejudiced one way or another. Li - A; K - B; Na - C; ...; H - L; Cu - M; ... Now look at the salts of each: "A"Cl or "C"Cl or "L"Cl They all look like salts--even the hydrogen. The fact that acids typically have a hydrogen bond does not mean that it any less or more corrosive. There is a caveat here... hydrogen has an electromotive value of 1.0, meaning that it will react with more energy than some other metals. For example, dissolving HCl in water will generate heat, because the water molecules are being aggressively ripped apart. On the other hand, CuCl2 dissolves with no more than a ho-hum -- even though it too rips apart water molecules to form metal ions. Let me continue addressing the replacement series concept. All the elements in the replacement series refer to metals. There is another replacement series that is more obscure. For example, all the halogen elements replace each other: pump chlorine gas in potassium iodide, a purple color appears, evidence of elemental iodine. I think I said... um... enough.

Really good science... And the music at the end. I think you are using the proper safety measures in all of your videos. "Keep on keeping on."

Cody I really like what you do and I really love the more hands on approach to science you have, you inspire me to work harder in highschool i'm currently falling short on everything except for English, I'm so close to failing.

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol. Accidental inhalation, even in small quantities, can result in death. Prolonged exposure to DHMO in is solid state can cause tissue damage. Gaseous DHMO can cause severe burns. It's a major component in acid rain. Visit www.dhmo.org/facts.html for more information. Stay informed. Stay safe.

Cool. I had a messed up dream a few nights ago too. I was In some warehouse on the promenade, twas dirty and old, almost decaying in front of me, It was full of woodwork, and sandbags. There was a bucket mining cart that looked brand new, black with gold handles, I remember being really impressed with it... I dunno why, it was only a mining cart, i got in it and was acting like a kid in a shopping trolley, looked up and there was some old dude with a top hat, long greasy hair, a monicle and black clothing, he was stood under a lamp holding a lever. When he pulled the lever the main warehouse double doors flew open, a big breeze came in and the mining cart (and i) went wooshing out, down the street (like the bus on men in black 3?) shrinking and changing shape to dodge cars but crashing into everything else, but at the same time it was like going light speed through space, everything was happening sooo fast, then I suddenly stopped in a random street between 2 old vintage mint condition cars but the guy was there again, under a lamp post, holding a lever. He pulled the lever with a smile on his face a seconc time and I went wooshing faster than before but through nothingness, just darkness, like space without stars, I couldn't move, it was like I was g-locked in my mining cart, slowly everywhere started to change from black to red, the cart started to slow down and the sound of tracks came from nowhere, faded in like from a distance getting closer, The air was getting hot and dry and things started to appear, I could see the tracks, a "mountain" with clouds above it, Ash falling from the red flashing sky, then the cart stopped, There was a wall to my left side, I looked over the right side of the cart to see the ground around me, there was a thin path not enough room to get out though. I looked up, there was a sillouette of a guy on a horse stood at the top of the mountain, he was evil looking, Kinda lesbian (dyke) looking. I decided to get out of the mining cart and walk across the tracks the way I came, then some shiit happened i cant remember what, and i was in front of a stone door with a crazy picture on it. I could hear some jungly/carnival music, the door opened, a fairy appeared and spoke to me, a guy came out of the shade from behind the stone door and gave me a sheet of music paper with a melody written on it. On my way out, in my path was a big boulder but it looked more and more fleshy as i got closer, then suddenly it moved, out came arms and a head and a word, it said "Uh..............". Then i kinda knew it was dreaming. I was on gorgon fucking mountain from zelda. My brain was being a spastic, mixing up random crap... That's all I got. ✌

Our LED bulbs we got from the power company have a plastic "bulb" encasing the LED and even after a few hours on, it's still as cool as a regular bulb turned off. Awesome video, it was cool to see the mercury puddle like that.

Hi Cody, its fun to see what you are going to come up with next! If you are open to suggestions, how about making mercury thermometers? Since you have shown how to extract mercury from rock, Hydro/Oxy torch using H and O2 from your electrolysis apparatus which could be used to form borosilicate tubes, Sprengel Vacuum pump to evacuate the tubes, and your fondness for mercury thermometers. It would be neat to combine several previous vids and make several for different temperature ranges and demonstrate calibration.

I actually just found NileRed's channel a few days ago and have been binge watching him.

This is simply amazing!

Love the new intro!

I use your channel to fill my fantasy of wanting to be smart and do science type things.. I thank you
